Thursday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that states can make their own gender transition rules and out-right ban them for minors. Many red states have already banned these procedures while some blue states will have to decide whether they want to remain "woke" or open themselves up to lawsuits from children who wish to later detransition who say they weren't old enough to make an informed decision on permanent medical procedures... The Minnesota assassin was a Democrat. It's always a Democrat. Why doesn't someone just acknowledge this fact instead of saying "can you imagine how the media would have treated this if it was a Trump supporter?" The first step in curing a problem is acknowledging you have a problem to begin with... Sam’s Club to remove all synthetic dyes from their private line of food products by the end of the year. Another win for the MAHA movement… Have to admit I like the headline "The Art of War" meets "The Art of the Deal" to describe the situation in Iran... The Supreme Court ruling really brings home the "go woke - go broke" mantra... Feel bad for England. A new trade agreement between the UK and US was announced at the G7 meeting but nobody paid attention because everyone was looking at President Trump and thinking about the Iran War... Many people are concerned about Boston fans as Rafael Devers now says he'll play any position for the Giants and Brad Marchand wins the Stanley Cup with Florida. Honestly happy for both players. We've had 20-years of championship parades - we're good... Reminder that in June of 1920 the US Post Office banned the shipping of children through the mail. They had to have a written rule because people were doing it despite common sense saying it was wrong. Today they may have to have a rule not to marry your brother... No truth to the rumor that BlueSky was chosen because EchoChamber was already taken... Would be funny if there was a counter No More Karens protest this weekend. Guessing the turnout would be significantly larger than the No More Kings protests... Somerset Maugham once said, "One should be on one's guard when one read's novelists criticisms of other people's novels." Same is true of another politician criticizing another politician or any "expert" from the same field)...
